Abstract

Au ohmic electrodes were prepared by the reaction of gold chloride solution on p-CdZnTe surface, and the Ring-CTLM (ring circular transmission line model method) graph was gained by photolithography. The ohmic contact resistivities (ρc) of Au/p-CdZnTe contacts after annealing at different temperature were characterized by I-V measurement. ρc of contact after annealing at 200°C was improved to be 0.1524Ω·cm2. From XPS analysis, CdTeO3 interface layer was found. This interface layer could act as the charge carrier recombination center, which can explain the ohmic contact mechanism of Au/p-CdZnTe.
